LETTER: Illegal immigration hurts schools

Trending

The recent article âRecord criticismâ (Jan. 26) is disturbing in many ways. First, since when do we call Illegal immigrants âundocumented immigrantsâ or âunauthorized immigrantsâ? Please, stop sugar-coating terms and call it like it is.

The article then goes on to discuss our ravaged university system and the decades of eroding state support. But then there is also the mention of $5 million set aside to assist the roughly 1,000 âundocumentedâ students in the system.

What is wrong with this picture? Instead of fixing our ravaged system, weâve decided it is more important to spend scarce tax dollars on immigration reform? No wonder the system is âravaged.â

If you are living in the U.S. illegally, our government has every right to deport you.
